This was a great interview! I feel like Tom's journey is almost identical to mine. I got into Phish my freshman year, which was in 94 and saw them for the first time in the fall of 95 in Madison and I was HOOKED. Saw as many shows as I could until the hiatus. I was at the 02 show at MSG and saw them throughout 03 and 04. Once the breakup happened, I kind of lost my interest in Phish and got into other music. I got back into them when they came back, but then started having kids and once again, fell out with them for a few years. Starting in 2015, I started to really get back into them and started listening to phishtracks.com and going to shows again. Now, I'm hooked again and am so excited for the years to come....

The Mockingbird Foundation

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.

And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $1,000,000 to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
